Microphone
Could someone recommend to me a high quality PC microphone? Preferably a headset. BeefJeaunt 00:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I prefer USB headsets to traditional headsets unless you have a high quality microphone and a great great sound card. The answer depends on what you want to do with your microphone.
I will leave it to other wikipedians to give you brand names and product id numbers. Good luck. --Do not click me! 01:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
The Samson C01U is a great Large Diaphram USB mic, but I assumed this is for more than just speaking/recording?Firefox image background
I'm using Firefox 1.5. I'd like it so that when I'm viewing an image (by itself, not on a webpage) the background color changes to a different color like grey. This is to help me discern borders of bright images and also to display transparency with greater impact. So, I want to change the background color of images without having to change the default white background color of webpages. Sorry if its confusing..aznshorty67 01:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I have just bought new GeForce 7600 GS from ebay.com (it was factory sealed, as i requested). I installed it and started my LOTRO. Everything worked perfectly well first, say, 5 mins and then i started to get weird flashing interruptions. It looks like when you change resolution and screen goes black for about second or two, than changes to lighter shade of black for 2 more seconds, than back to normal. And in about 5-10 secs same thing again. I have done some research on Google, absolute ZERO. No reports of even similar error, let alone fix. Through my tests i found following:
- It happens only when complex 3D games are running, not when you are browsing or something else.
-It happens on ALL games (tested on LOTRO, Lost Planet, F.E.A.R. Matrix)
-I found that "flashing" reduces when i play on lower resolutions, sometimes even stops completely when reducing resolution on F.E.A.R.
-I got 2 accounts on my XP and for brief period of 2 days, when i played on mine account, flashing completely stopped, but when i switch on my familie's account and try playing there it appears again. I didn't touch anything and it started to appear on my account again.
-No application, including drivers, report any error, like it never happened, witch might point to monitor as cause of problem, yet monitor worked perfectly with former integrated graphics on motherboard.
Here are my specs
P4 3.0 ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 motherboard with onboard graphic, PCI-E 16x (card connected on it currently). 2 X 512 RAM New 2 weeks old PSU 400 Watt Some generic "polyview" 19 inch LCD monitor Latest DX9 Latest ForceWare drivers ver. 162.18 downloaded from http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_162.18.html
I think thats what you need to know, if there is anything else, ill be more than happy to provide additional info.
I asked same question on nVidia forum, no replies, i have no idea where else to turn for help. I know this question might not be appropriate for here, you are not technical support, in which case please delete it.
Please, any help, even if you don't know what causes it but have some ideas or hints, please write it down...
Thank you in advance... Nighthawk001 04:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Firefox Find function
When I look through the ref desk pages I search for posts Ive participated in by searching for my name. But when I do that, the screen 'stops' with the found item (my signature) at the bottom, so every time I have to scroll down to see if there have been any follow-ups to my post. Is there a way to make Firefox show my signature (or whatever I'm searching for) in the middle of the screen? DirkvdM 04:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I suppose I didn't state the problem clearly enough. When I search for the next item (my name), be it with ^G or by clicking 'next' or 'enter', my signature (the search item) appears at the bottom, so I don't see if there has been a follow-up until I scroll down. No big deal, but somewhat irritating if I have to do it again and again when looking through the ref desk. I used to use a browser which showed the page with the search item in the middle, just can't remember which one. I believe it was Mozilla, which has the same origin as Firefox, so I suppose it should be possible to make behave in the same manner. DirkvdM 06:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, but a workaround: start at the bottom of the page and do a "find previous" or "Control-Shift-G". --Sean 12:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
HTML and the line break?
I'm trying a new idea where i have multiple lines displayed as a tooltip in an HTML document using the "Title" tag. Here is what ive written:
<a title="!YunaGames   A command to list available games.">Game Menu.</a>
... believe it or not this actually works! However, i cant use <br>, probably because of the quotes? you can see that i put in a non breaking space character in there..... that seems to work fine.... but is there a way to tell the browser to make a new line using the same & character? im sort of novice, and i looked in wikipedia under line break with no results, i also tried &crlf with no result.
Another idea is, i can try it without quotes, but then it seems to only show up to the > in <br>.... and then the rest is displayed as part of the text afterwards ("Game Menu.")
Any ideas? Thanks.

Wikipedia in other languages
Could someone give me a link to the website that searches "all" Wikipedias for a certain word, i.e. you type in a word, and it lists all language WPs that have an entry, and if they have interwiki links. Thanks --Montchav 10:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
PDF Files
Does anyone how to convert a PDF file on Windows Vista to Microsft Word 2007? --Writer Cartoonist 12:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Could I ask you if you mean convert to or convert from a PDF file? Converting to a pdf is pretty simple. (Go to the office button, click save as and then publish) And why would you want to convert from a PDF file? A PDF is forever! --Do not click me! 14:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC) --Do not click me! 14:44, 15 September 2007 (UTC)--Do not click me! 14:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
A walk along the Wikipedia highway brought me to aka Pstoedit. I have never used this software but could you look at it to see if it is what you need? Best of luck! --Do not click me! 00:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Do not click me! ~~ ~
Also my personal opinion, please avoid Microsoft Office 2007 file formats (docx, xlsx, ... etc) until it is widely accepted unless absolutely necessary. Thanks. --Do not click me! 00:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
WEBSITE help: it suddenly stopped working
Hello, I am new to websites, but to save some money, I used frontpage to design my page and get a free host, newsit.es, to host it. For a while, my .com domain worked and I was happy with my website. Then suddenly, I checked my page on internet explorer and it says the server cannot be found. I know that newsit.es is working because the same page I made for my .com domain is displayed on username.newsit.es . I tried updating the page with frontpage and it still hasn't showed up on the net. Also, I bought the domain about 2 months ago and paid for a year, so I am confident that I still own it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, Robert
Have you checked the nameservers or URL forwarding settings, is the site still on the free url? Djmckee1 - Talk - Sign 15:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
yes, i've checked the nameservers and URL forwarding settigns and those haven't changed. The free url still works too, but not the domain
There are so many things that can cause that page to be shown when you visit a website. Whenever i look at my website and discover that it is showing a 'page not found', I frantically do the the following:
1. Check google.com to see if that's working - hence my internet connection is likely to be working. 2. Ping it to check the website's connection to the net: e.g: on Windows XP > START > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt then, type the following on the commnad line: ping examplewebsitename.com (Where examplewebsitename.com is the na
